Her Morning Elegance Response
December 9, 2009
Her Morning Elegance is a Stop Motion video created by Oren Lavie with help of animators, Yuval and Merav Nathan. It was released in 2009 and instantly became a popular viral video. Over 3000 photographs were taken over the course of two days. It is wonderfully created and developed. Although framed and contained within the ‘mattress’, the composition is kept interesting via the close ups and the variation in cuts at the beginning and around 2:30 minutes. Also, there are certain elements in which fly ‘off the frame’ such as the red scarf and certain pillows. The light on the side and the change in the colour of bedsheet also aids in keeping the video visually compelling. If we look closely at the video, we can tell that the shoes and the light electric cord do move and shift a few times throughout the video, whether it was intentional or not, there is such great movement within the main ‘frame’ itself therefore the shifts are barely noticeable.
Below are a few videos that seem to have been inspired by “Her Morning Elegance” bed idea.
Others have said that Her Morning Elegance had copied/stole the idea from this Mitchell Rose’s video from 2002:
